Yes they are. i went outside this morning about 6:30 and found myself staring at a fox about 30 feet away. behind him was another and another and another. I sared at him and he barked at me. And me, without a camera. The fox took off and i ran downstairs for a camera. The foxes were still hanging out in my neighbors yard. Very cool indeed!
we occasionally have red foxes in our yard. We once had lots of rabbits, but the foxes have thinned that population so that we rarely see them. I miss the rabbits, but it's good for my vegetable garden!
I never touched a plant till Pat and I moved to Cleveland from Chicago. Our house came with trees and trees and more trees. it also came with overgrown landscaping that hadn't been tended to for 15 years. Pat's always been the gardener. I love hanging out with Pat and I know how to use a shovel. Along the way I discovered a love of gardening. But first, We had to take 12 trees down and 40 dead bushes out. Hosta, ligularia, and sedum are my favorite plants.
Our yard is clay. Clay, clay and more clay. Clay all the way to the center of the earth. The people at the conservation district told us that " we're at the wrong end of the glacier". I nodded the nod of the intimidated and have repeated it ever since. We are true belivers in sweet peet and work in 15 yards every spring. Our back yard faces north and is a good 6 feet lower than the house. Most of the back yard is moist year round. Except for the north east corner, the yard is under shade or partial shade. The front yard is mainly sunny. We are in zone 5b.

My first thoughts were, oh my gosh, those look like foxes.
How neat is that.

My goodness....how cool to see foxes and even better that you were able to take a picture :-)
They are adorable! I wouldn't mind seeing a fox or two in my garden. I have seen them in my neighborhood every now and then, but never in my garden.
Perhaps they'll sort out the rabbits.
Wiz, That's just what I thought. All those foxes and all those bunnies, what a perfect combination.

Great photo! We never see foxes here "in the trees" in suburbia. Do you have poultry they might be attracted to? (I hope not.)
